Targeted Gene Silencing Drugs Are More Than 500 Times More Effective with New Delivery Method

2:13 December 20, 2012

An innovative delivery approach that dramatically increases the efficacy of an siRNA drug targeted to the liver and has made it possible to test the drug in non-human primates is described in an article in Nucleic Acid Therapeutics, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. publishers. The article is available free on the Nucleic Acid Therapeutics website.

“The promise of siRNAs is as strong as ever and is becoming even more so with progress in delivering these molecules to the right place at the right time,” says Executive Editor Fintan Steele, PhD, SomaLogic, Inc., Boulder, CO. “The work by Wong and colleagues is another important step towards realizing this promise.”
